Servings: 12 slices
Calories: 248kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound zucchini about 2 medium
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ⅓ cup avocado oil or melted coconut oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1 cup tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Optional add-ins: ½ cup mini chocolate chips, ½ cup chopped walnuts, or ½ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhanging the edges of the pan to make removal easier after baking. Set aside.
- Trim off the ends of the zucchini and shred finely—you can do this using a box grater or a food processor.
- Pile the shredded zucchini into the middle of a clean tea towel. Gather up the corners of the towel, and then use the towel to squeeze out some of the moisture over a sink or bowl. You don’t have to get the zucchini completely dry—you just want to take out some of the excess water. You should have about 1 ½ cups of shredded, dried, packed zucchini when you are done.
- Combine the zucchini, maple syrup, oil, eggs, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Stir well to combine.
- Add in the almond flour, tapioca, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and any add-ins you are using. Stir until well combined.
- Pour mixture into the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to even out the top of the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, using the parchment paper overhang, lift the loaf out of the pan and transfer to a wire baking rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- This bread is a bit floppy when warm—but so delicious! If you'd like a more sturdy piece, let it cool completely before enjoying.
